Introduction
We are pleased to announce the 7th Italian-Japanese Workshop on Liquid Crystals which will be held in Ravenna, Italy, from July 7 to 9, 2014. The meeting will be organised jointly by the Italian Liquid Crystal Society (SICL) and the Japanese Liquid Crystal Society (JLCS) in collaboration with the Istituzione Biblioteca Classense. The aim of the Workshop, event which continues a series of successful meetings, is to bring together members of the Liquid Crystal communities of Italy and Japan for a presentation and discussion of the most recent research results in the field. It is hoped that the Workshop will further enhance exchange and scientific cooperation between Italy and Japan in the more innovative areas of Liquid Crystal science and technology. The format of the workshop will be based on a
number of keynote talks of leading Italian and
Japanese scientists. In addition there will be the
opportunity for all participants to present their
Scientific Topics
• Molecular design, synthesis, new materials and
phases
• Structures, ordering, and defects
• Simulations and dynamic properties
• Photonic and optoelectronic applications
• Surfaces and confined systems
• Display and other applications
• Colloids, nanostructured systems and
self-assembly
• Polymeric and elastomeric liquid crystals
• Biological and lyotropic systems
